Trophée Hassan II report: What happened at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam?

Jorge Campillo claimed a long overdue maiden victory on the European Tour as he soared to a two-shot victory at the Trophée Hassan II in Morocco.

A back-nine flurry of birdies helped him open up a gap at the top above the likes of Julian Suri and Erik van Rooyen.

The Spaniard had back-to-back bogeys on the front nine but he was able to continue grinding and carded four birdies in his last 11 holes.

A two-under-par 71 on Sunday was enough to seal the victory and after an impressive 18 top 10s on the European Tour without a top place finish.

Campillo drew on his considerable experience of being at the top end of the leaderboard and, despite a lengthy wait on the 18th tee, closed it out in style.
